the store. He gave him chase, and in the run
Brown dropped a cap that was identified as
stolen one. He was arrested. and Yesterday
morning told the officers that they could find the
goods missing from the store in the second hand
clothing store of Elias Openheimer, on East
Washington street. Mr. Openheimer denied that
he had received any such goods Brown
then said that if the goods were not in Open
heimers store they could be found at Noe2S3
South Tennessee street. The officers went down
there. and had just arrived when Openheimer
and Isaac Bowenstein put in an appearance.
The house was searched and all the missing
goods We're found secreted in bed. Tie goods
consisted of ten sack coats. four pairs Of trousers
and numerous small articles Of wearing apparel

A WIFE'S AFFECTIONS ALIENATED.
Trial ola Divorce Suit, duplicating Shelby
vile Man, Before Jury.

The dull monotony of court work was relieved
yesterday by the trial OF divorce suit of unus-
nal interest 1t is the case of William T. Ellis
against Minnie p. Ellis. Mr.. Ellis asks to be
separated from his wife for the reason that her
affections have been alienated by another, and
asks for the custody of their child. The two
lived happily in this city until last summer,
when Mrs. Ellis became infatuated with John
W. Friday OF Shelbyviile. while attending the
Acton camp meeting Mr. Friday is barber in
Shelbyvlle, and the son of wealthy parents.
After Mrs Ellis returned from camp-neeting,
the evidence goes to show that she kept up her
CORES pondence with Friday letter was in
trod uced, written by him, in answer to one he
had received from her, regarding proposed
trip to Cincinnati. A telegram was also intro
dueed, sent by him the day before Mrs Ellis left
home, stating that he conid rot accompany her
with her as far as Greenfield The trainmen
testified however, that he did accompany her TO
Cincinnati
Mr.. Ellis told how he had been abashed by his
wifes conduct before she went TO Cincinnati
with Friday. He said she persisted in visiting
saloon in his neighborhood and his pleading s
had no effect on her.
The case is being tried by jury, something
out of the usual order OF such eases. Under the
law touching such cases. the jury will not bring
in a verdict but will only sum up the impress
sion made for the judge. who will render the
verdict. Mr. Friday is said to be anticipating n
suit for damages. and, while not present himself
IS represented by an attorney.

manner attempting to perform any Of the duties
or functions of the President of the Senate Of
Indiana, and especially from presiding or at
tempting to preside as Lieutenant governor or
President of the Senate at the joint convention
of the House and Senate to be held on the 10Th
of January, 1887. The defendant is restrained
and enjoined until the further order of the
court. The restraining order further recites the
exceptions taken by the defendant and his ap-
peal to the Supreme Court which is granted,
the defendant filing approved bond in the
penalty OF 5000. with William Fl. 81. Miller as
surety.
Smiths counsel insisted that the order should
require deputy sheriff to that the injunc-
ton was executed. The effect Of this would have
been to have placed an officer at Colonel Rohz
ertsons heels to dog him wherever he might
turn. Judge Ayres refused to aceede TO this re-
quest. He said that action would be taken by
the Supreme Court in so short time that there
could be no occasion for surveillance until the
final hearing of the case, and il would be unfair
to burden Colonel Robertson in the manner de.
sired!
The opinion among representative Republican
lawyers Is universal that Judge Ayres made a
mistake in his decision in entertaining jursdic-
ton of the case ard they say the reason of the
decision in Smith versus Myers is applicable in
this case In the case of Smith versus Myers it
was held by Judge Ayres and the Supreme
Court that an injunction would not lie to test
the title to an office and yet Judge Avres, in
this last case, uses the writ Of injunction in q
suit which has no other object than to test the
title to office. Before he said it wouldn't;
now he says it will.

FURIOUS RAIN STORM.

Pittsburgh Experiences the Heaviest in
Thirteen Years-Damage to Property.
PrrTsBURGH, Pa, July 90. The protracted
hot spell was broken tonight by the heay-
lest storm known here since the great
Butchers Run disaster, thirteen years ago,
when nearly two hundred people were
drowned. Fortunately to-night's storm
was not attended by any fatalities, as far
as could be learned at mid.
night. The damage to prop
erty, however, was very heavy, and will
reach at least 100000 The storm broke
over the city abont6 o'clock, and in two
hours two and a. half inches of rain had
fallen. The water poured down the hill
streets in torrents, flooding cellars and
washing away foundations of houses too.
In the hill districts many houses were rem
dered unsafe, and several were complete-
~ wrecked. At Butchers Run the sewers
became clogged up, and the water over
flowing filed the houses to the depth of
several feet. The occupants, remembering
the terrible scenes of July, 1874, became
panic stricken, and for a time the
widest excitement prevailed No one was
injured, however, but number of houses
were washed from their foundations. Out
side OF the city the small streams over
flowed their banks, doing great damage.
Telegraph wires are down in all direc-
tions, and heavy washouts are reported on
the railroads leading east and west from
the city. AT midnight the rain was still
falling, with indications of continuing all
night The mercury touched SO degrees
this afternoon, but fell % degrees before
eleven o'clock tonight. Five fatal cases
of sunstroke occurred during the day.

SrREAToR, Ill, July 2l.--The powder
house owned by the G., w Il V. Coal
Company was struck by lightning at2;3
this morning, causing terrible explosion
and killing one man and wounding many.
Also demolishing all property for blocks
around it. There was not window left
unbroken within half mile of the ex-
plosicn. On arriving at the scene a terri
bio sight presented itself Every dwell
ing on the south and west side
of the powder-house had been
completely shattered, and, in most
cases, entirely demolished, Not a YES
tigeof the powder house remains, while,
where 1t stood Is an excavation about sixty
feet long, forty wide and twenty deep.
Rescuing parties were formed and the
search for the dead and injured began.
Strange as ii may seem, only one fatality
has been reported, but a large number are
seriously injured Among the wounded
are Mary Love, right hip broken; James
Blackmore, hurt in the back Mrs, Black
more, several ribs broken, Mrs. James
Sheldon, three ribs broken; Mrs.
Thomas Birdwell, badly cut by fly
ing glass; Mrs Hattie Reaschon, an
aged widow, struck over the eye with
a brick and badly injured A tramp who
was sleeping in car near the powder
house was probably fatally injured. The
number Of minor casualties will reach
nearly hundred. There were forty-hve
dwellings almost totally demolished, and
there is not plate glass window left in
the business part OF the city, 1t is impos-
sible at this time TO estimate the loss, but
1t will probably reach $4,000 or 100000.
A special meeting OF the city council is
being held this afternoon TO determine
who is responsible for so large an amount
of powder being stored in the city limits.

ENTIRELY TOO HEAVY.
Dboouraging Experiments With tile At
lanta'n Guns.


NEW YoRK, July 2O-Private letters from
an Officer and macbinist on board Of the
new steel cruiser Atlanta to friends in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard say that during the
target practice in Gardner's Bay, day be-
fore yesterday, the eight inch bow and
storm barbette pivot guns recoiled with
such force as TO tear loose the tracks on
which they turn and also to rip portion
Of the heavy gun. These guns are
the heaviest ahoat in the SER
vice. The gun carriages and tracks
were thoroughly tested at the Annapolis
testing station before they were put on
board ship, and during the earlier trials
there one of them tore up the whole deck
to which the track was bolted. These
guns are mounted ON the practically open
deck and at the bow and stern of the ves-
sell A low circular parapet Of iron runs
around each to protect the gunners from
missiles from small arms and there is also
an iron hood over the gun for the same
purpose. The recoil Of the gun is checked
by hydraulic buffer on the carriage, and
the carriage is held in place by heavy
clips which catch under the edge of the
track. The riyets which hold the track go

were drawn out and the deck torn up
Just how serious the damage is couldn't
be learned. No official report of it has
reached the Navy Yard. The officers Of
the Boston are anxious to know the exact
facts regarding the occurrence. The Bos.
ton is sister ship of the Atlanta, and the
tracks for her eight inch guns are laid in
the same way. Her guns are not
yet on board. The letters say that
the damage was done by charge of nine.
ty pounds OF powder. Tho tracks will
have TO be made more secure TO
Withstand the recoil produced by full
charge Of 100 pounds of powder. During
the firing live sheep was used to ascer-
tain just how near the men may stand to
the muzzle of these great guns when they
are fired. At one discharge the sheep was
blown clear through a hatchway and kill
ed. Officers on the Boston think some
thing must be done to ascertain how an
eight inch gun can be safely worked, while
six, inch gun next it is being fired almost
across the eight inch guns track.

THE ATLANrA,s GUNS.
A Board to BE Appointed to Test TheA
Further.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-In his report To
Secretary Whitney OF the trials OF the
guns Of the cruiser Atlanta, Captain Bunce
says that not only were the gun-carriages
disabled, as heretofore reported, but also
that "the arrangement OF the batteryis
bad, as some OF the guns have to be aban-
doned by their crews that the other guns
may be fired at the target" Comment
ing on the results OF the battery trial,
Secretary Whitney said: "rhe reports
are not favorable as to the first trial OF
the guns, but AS yet no matters Of great
moment have turned up. The tyauble, TO
my mind, is this; II two rounds of her
battery give this result, what would a
dozen dot And II is that which we are
called upon TO ascertain. She is meant as
a fighting ship and must be further tested.
She should have cruise at sea sufficiently
long TO subject her TO trial OF all weathers,
Her battery should be tested by actual
firing until its working characteristics are
determined, and defects, II any, discov-
cred. For these purposes a board win be
appointed and the matter settled at the
